What a great find at HD.  I'm sure most if not all of never heard of that thing.    May I suggest you do a review of this tool here: https://modelshipworld.com/forum/69-reviews-model-shipwrighting-tools-parts-and-fittings/

Done Brother, It's definitely worth a look see...

I agree! I’m curious how it’s cleaned, since as a hobbyist, one can tend to bounce from colour to colour frequently (also seeing as most hobby jobs use less than an ounce of paint at a time).

Thank's Andy,

 

I would just run a bit of clear thinner through the adapter like you would an airbrush until it runs clear... Their website offers extra 3oz bottles with screw on lids so having multiple colors on hand would be easy to set up...

Hello EG - I've been away for a bit and just catching up.  Great progress on this model and it's looking beautiful.  Your "Rub & Buff" results look fantastic and worth all the time you spend nailing down the technique.  And thanks for heads-up on the HD Preval sprayer - interesting.

Thanks Gary... It's appreciated..

 

And My Pleasure, it worked for my application and should work for many others... Almost a must have tool for those not into airbrushes especially for the hard to lay paints......

Update...

 

Yes the painting with the heavy masking left a ridge that needed to be knocked down before finishing...

IMG_0327.thumb.JPG.0acb2aa27897cbf7d5424839a30a2d7c.JPG

Hard to see but you can really feel it, it would show badly when shined up and decaled...

 

Knocking it down requires the use of a medium grade thin sanding stick...

IMG_0330.thumb.JPG.bd6c67e8b908095e063ecfb52e1aa1d9.JPGIMG_0331.thumb.JPG.83728734c6af88599f6062b611abdfbf.JPGIMG_0332.thumb.JPG.29d167fe5930e23bb9ae2b99cec6a1e5.JPG

320 grit... And of course no matter how careful you are your going to break down the RnB finish as well... so before we can hard shell with future, we need to retouch the RnB finish...

IMG_0333.thumb.JPG.24699ac9fb8e8f58256f3972557ded08.JPG

That looks good.. one of the great things with Rub N Buff is retouches are easy a slight skuff and a pointed q-tip is all it takes...

 

Next up Decaling....

 

Onwards...

Unless the numbering system for sandpaper is different across the pond, I fear that 320 grit might be way too coarse. I wouldn't go any less that at least 600 and using it wet. Maybe you have different experience, but you can make some tries before committing the obtained result.

Kind regards,

Dan

Very good point Dan Thank You...

 

I'm using what I had and being a compound curved surface a stick that could be manipulated on the bias was the best technique I thought of as it would leave a lot less disturbance of the surrounding surfaces than a sheet would... 320 is the smallest grit I have in stick form... It didn't take much to knock the ridge down, just a few passes with no pressure at all....  600 would have been better 3200 even better yet, but find me a narrow stick sander in 600 much less 3200... {chuckle} We are stuck using the tools we have on hand...

 

What it really shows is how thin the RnB actually is, only a mil or two...  But recovery is easy....

Your wish is my command sir ! 😄

 

Sanding sticks/pads.   Or 

 

SANDING-WAND-SET

 

 

I have the sanding twig set and the sanding wand set plus a set of flexible approx 1 inch square rubber sanding pad of grits from 3200 to 12000. I think I got the latter from Lee Valley

Thanks Jack...

 

From those links I found what I should have...

 

https://www.micromark.com/Dual-Angle-Sanding-File-Set-Multiple-Grits-Set-of-9

 

from 60 to 12000 grit, perfect for the application.... Didn't even know they made such a critter, I already have the buffing pads, (3200 - 12000 Hobby Lobby) but they are too wide, good for flat surfaces, but next to impossible to control where your buffing on a compound curve... That's why I didn't use them...

 

Right tool for the job ands all that....

 

Thank you, filed in the learn something new every day section... (and ordered as well)

I know Jack, they only go to 320 grit, I have the entire set 100 to 320 grit... they are what I used to knock the ridge down...

Ok Brothers another short update....

 

Fuselage Stripe....

IMG_0334.thumb.JPG.8d7325b80cb08b42abb3ff8103a01930.JPGIMG_0335.thumb.JPG.92b6673a5309293f5628aa7e365f6665.JPG

Accurate pointed stripe, 32 inches wide on the fuselage with the fuel port centered in the stripe... (properly located)

 

I just thought you all would like to see the outcome with all the angst that went into what usually would be a nothing job... (if the decal didn't disintegrate)

 

Now the finishing path is clear barring any other disasters...

 

ONWARDS... (finally)

Thank you all... I know it's been a while since I've posted an update, RL is intervening in a hard way right now, but I have been plugging along as best I can...

 

Decaling is about 3/4th's done, Just the right side of the fuselage to go...

 

Here are some pics of the slow progress...

IMG_0337.thumb.JPG.ad0b94513001e6d23bca4f5586acdecb.JPG

IMG_0338.thumb.JPG.e7f10f08965ca201ceea9e481163456a.JPG

There were a lot of those technical decals, still some to go all down the right side...

 

Sorry for the slow progress but health is a major concern right now, keeping the muse going is getting difficult... 

But I swear I'm gonna get this one done...

 

Thanks every one for following...

 

It means a lot...

Thank you Brothers....

 

Just want you all to know how much your support is appreciated...

 

I went out and took a few more shots of the left side... Outside, since the Lord has graced us with beautiful sunny skies today.... I Never pass up the opportunity to enjoy such gifts...

 

Here they are....

It never ceases to amaze me at how much better models look in direct sunlight....

 

Trying to figure out an appropriate backdrop for when I get her finished, I want her sitting in a semi-realistic setting... before I call her done...

 

Anyway... Onwards... (snails pace yes, but still moving forward, no looking back)
